**Jake's an OC. Just clearing things up. This was also written right when The Lost Hero came out.
Disclaimer: Don't own PJO
Next chapter of People. You know, I think I'll turn this into a random oneshot story. Also I wrote this as a friendship-bonding thing. It's been on my mind for a couple days now, and I can't focus on other ideas. Then today my little baby cousin was born and he's the cutest little thing! So I'm thinking baby today. There's usually an OC in my PJO stories. So as always, enjoy and review!\
Let's assume Luke's alive and everyone's just happy here.
Jake POV
I was bored. My brother went off to stalk Annabeth, Luke's off stealing from this Apollo guy who beat him in a swordfight, so they weren't around to talk to. So I decided to go visit Thalia, daughter of Zeus. I found her in her cabin beating up a log. "Hey Thals. What's up? Why do you have a log?"
She wrinkled her nose. "I'm bored." She announced.
I nodded. "Well, me too. What do you want to do?" I asked.
She frowned, thinking. "OH! Let's go to the Big House and rummage through Chiron's photo albums! Maybe we'll find out who he loves!" she said bouncing excitedly.
I stared at her strangely. She held up her hands. "What? Don't you wanna know who he loves?" she asked, shrugging
I thought. "Yup. Let's go. Race ya!" I sprinted away. She caught up five seconds later after an indignant "HEY!"
She won.
We charged to the library and found the photos section. We skimmed the titles until Thalia found something of interest.
"HEY! Check this out!" she exclaimed, tugging out a rather large album. I walked over and read the title: "Camp Half Blood Baby Pictures 1996-1997"
"Open it!" I said. She opened it.
"Oh my gosh…" I exclaimed. It was a baby album of all the demigods in camp that were our age and a year younger.
"Aw look, he's a cute little baby!" said Thals grinning ear to ear. She was pointing to a picture of a little fat baby with a tuff of black hair and sea green eyes. Underneath the picture it said "Perseus Albert Jackson" and "Poseidon" underneath his name.
"Is that Percy?" I asked, looking closely. She looked again, and her eyebrows rose.
"Oh gods, it is." She replied after a bit. "See, his name. Right there."
"Let's take it." I said. Thalia nodded and closed the book.
Thalia's POV
"Hey you two, what's going on?" asked Annabeth, stepping in my cabin. Percy waved, closing the door behind him.
Jake and I snickered. "We found something pretty cool." I chuckled, holding up the album.
Annabeth gaped at it, reading the title. "Are you serious? Are we all in there?" she asked.
Jake shrugged. "We found Percy when we opened it. We didn't look though, we're looking now.
"Let me see that." Annabeth grinned, sitting next to us. Percy crouched next to her grinning.
I flipped to the first page. The first picture that caught my eye was of a curly haired, honey-blond girl with striking grey eyes. "OMG THERE"S ANNABETH!" squealed Percy. We winced and glared at him. He grinned stupidly, staring at Annabeth's picture.
"Oh my gods!" I cooed. "Annabeth Michele Chase? Annabeth, you never told me your middle name was Michele!"
Annabeth rolled her eyes. "That was none of your concern Thalia Ma-!"
I clapped a hand over her mouth. "DON'T SAY IT!"
"What?"
"Don't say my middle name!"
"Why?"
"JUST DON'T."
"Okay."
"Good girl."
"Shut up."
"That won't happen." Luke's voice chimed from the door. We looked up. Luke, Jason, and Piper came in, shutting the door.
I laughed and turned the page. "Hey, there's Jake!" said Percy peering over my shoulder. He had light BROWN hair and blue eyes. Underneath his picture it said Jake Andrew Collins.
"What are you looking at? Are those baby pictures?" Piper asked, sitting next to Annabeth.
"Yup." She answered. "You guys are in here too somewhere I think. But we just found Jake."
"YOUR HAIR!" Luke sobbed. "YOUR BEAUTIFUL HAIR!" Then he straightened up and coughed. "You look weird man."
"Oh yeah? Look at YOU!" smirked Jake. Sure enough, there was baby Luke Daniel Castellan. Blonde, fat, blue-eyed.
"Wow Luke." said Annabeth with a raised eyebrow. He blushed.
"Whatever Annabeth."
"Hey there's Jason!" I said. "Ah, memories." I grinned at him.
He came over. "Wow I was super fat."
"You were."
"Thanks sis."
He was fat, blonde-haired and blue eyed also. "You know, I never knew Percy's middle name was Albert." I mused.
"Nor did I!" said Percy making his way over looking rather weirded out.
I stifled a laugh. "Seriously? Your mom never told you your own middle name?"
He shrugged and said "Apparently not. Or maybe she never gave me one, and Chiron gave me mine."
Annabeth grinned. "That does make sense for once seaweed brain! I'm proud of you!" she said and planted a light kiss on his lips. Percy shivered, and deepened the kiss. I covered Jason's eyes while he grinned like a maniac.
"Ahem." coughed a voice from the door. Nico, Bianca, and Rachel were leaning against the door.
Percy and Annabeth pulled away blushing like maniacs. "Oh hey guys, come in!" I said, and they came in and peered over my shoulder at the baby album.
"OHMIGODS IS THAT JASON?" Rachel yelled clutching Nico's shoulders.
Jason sighed. "Yup. Don't even wanna know how Chiron got a picture of me when I was, like, two."
"Wow Jake dude, your hair was brown." said Nico with raised eyebrows, gaping at his picture.
"Hey, there's Nico!" he replied.
Nico blushed furiously and tried to shut the album to no avail. He gave up and started sulking next to Percabeth. (If you read the House of Hades… no pun intended here.)
"Your middle name is Mario?" Rachel asked him.
He blushed and mumbled "Yes." under his breath.
"Mine's Elizabeth." chirped Rachel.
"WE KNOW THAT." We all said simultaneously
"Geez, just saying." mumbled Rachel.
"Hey, there's Thals!" Jake said gently shaking my shoulder.
Sure enough, there was me as a baby, with black hair up to my shoulders and the same blue eyes I have now. The only difference was I was a baby and pale then, now I'm tanner and no longer a two foot tall baby.
"AWWW THALS YOU'RE SO CUTE!" Luke and Piper squealed, both squeezing me in a death grip.
"Thalia Marie Grace." Jake read. "You never told me your middle name.
I blushed. "I don't like it." I mumbled.
"What was that?" he asked.
"I DON'T LIKE IT!" I hollered in his face. I don't have much patience when it comes to these things.
"Why?" asked Jake. "I think it's a beautiful name."
I raised my eyebrow. "Seriously?"
"Yeah. Seriously."
I couldn't help but blush a little, and I turned away. He reached over and turned the page. I turned back to see.
"Piper Abigail McLean." I read.
She was pretty, even as a baby. She had long brown hair and the same eyes that changed color. Her eyes were a swirl of color.
Jason smiled at her and playfully nudged her. She turned around and slapped him, while I watched with amusement. Bianca smiled and sighed "Young love."
They turned around simultaneously. "WHAT?"
"Oh nothing." She said, completely serious.
I shut the album and looked at it with a small smirk on my face.
"I'm making copies." I announced.
A chourus of "No's" were my response.
I grinned evilly. "Too late."
"Oh geez." Percy sighed. Jake grinned and Annabeth sighed.
"There goes our dignity."
Suckish ending, I realize that completely, and I apologize for it. I'm no good at endings.
Review!
